You guys just have no idea how excited I am about this contest. I have teamed up with Columbia Records to promote Brandi Carlile’s sophmore album, “The Story.”

I have heard the new album, and it’s incredible. It’s much better than her critically-acclaimed first album, “Brandi Carlile.” I promoted her first CD last year, and I’m SO happy to be promoting her again this year.

The Story builds on the aching melodies, moody atmosphere and heartfelt lyrics characterizing Brandi’s first album with nuanced arrangements including electric guitar (”My Song,” “Losing Heart”), piano (”Wasted”) and cello (”Turpentine,” “Late Morning Lullaby”).

Columbia Records signed Carlile in late 2004 on the strength of songs she’d been recording periodically at her home. Released in 2005, Brandi Carlile, her debut showcased those early songs along with several newly recorded tracks. Reviews of the album universally heralded Carlile as an important new singer-songwriter. She hit the road opening for other artists while going on to headline her own shows.

Brandi found a new wider audience when the ABC hit medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy” showcased three of Brandi’s songs — “Tragedy,” “What Can I Say” and “Throw It All Away” — an unprecedented honor for a new artist.

With The Story, Brandi Carlile takes you into the deepest most poetic moments of her own experiences, creating the kind of artist-audience bond that makes you feel you’re living inside those moments yourself.
